Mom Catches Her Son STEALING?! 

Would it really be a video of me if I didn't have a makeup issue... sigh..... it's fine, everything is fine.

Bed wetting mom is so wrong, probably long term damaged her relationship with her son.

The last story sends up major red flags. Bed wetting in older children is a very common sign of child harm and based on the post this mom may be the one hurting the kid. I wish there were a way to get CPS involved with OP’s son.

From the first story: What would have happened if that kid would have gotten kidnapped?! Kids don’t think about that stuff and it makes teachers worry when you’re not with the group because 1. We don’t want anything to happen to you. 2. We will get in trouble (fired and most likely in able to work with kids again) and when kids do stuff like this! Bad apple!

For the last story, the mom is the perfect example of someone whose kid immediately moves out at 18. Then they go asking themselves: "Why does my kid never talk to me?" Public humiliation is never the correct punishment.

Story 4, as a fully grown adult who struggles with bladder control, I had similar issues as a kid and my parents gaslit tf out of me and even into my teenage years were asking me if I’d had accidents or not. It’s a thing and for parents to be shaming the kids for things they can’t control is horrible and that poor child will forever grow up with PTSD about his own bathroom habits! Still super self conscious about it as a 26 year old woman.

To story 4 He's 14, teach him how to run the sheets himself in the laundry. He is more than capable of that and until he outgrows it, it'll save him the shame. Also learning how to do laundry is a life skill.

For story number 4, I'm appalled. If the mother had truly seen multiple specialists about her son's condition, then I'm surprised that stress and anxiety as factors was never raised. Stress and anxiety can certainly cause bed wetting. And if she handles other portions of this poor kid's life the way she handled this, then it's no surprise that he still wets the bed. His biggest bully is his mother.

Story 4: that mom better prepare for her son to move out and go no contact the second he turns 18. Shaming your kid for something beyond their control? No ma'am.

Story 4: not only did she humiliate her son in public infront of people but he even said to her that he didn’t want to be made fun of for not wearing boxers and she still said no like this grown woman was willing to let her son get bullied in school over something he can’t control and the way it sound it seems like he only wets the bed so why not just make him wear his tighty white when he goes to bed like there was so many different things this mum could do and yet she chose every single wrong decision other than saying to her son that stealing was wrong and yet she still messed that up like come on you are his mother has some god damn sympathy.

I’m 15, but I completely agree that story 1 is a BAD APPLE!!! I have so much sympathy for teachers (how stressful that amount of responsibility must be). But, for example, imagine if you were walking around an airport with your family and just walked off by yourself because you ‘felt like it’ or you ‘knew better’. Your family would be worried sick. They would (most likely) start thinking the worst - you got kidnapped, and so on. So yea, absolutely, that kid is the bad apple, who 100% has a ‘I know better than you’, and I’m all grown up’ attitude.

Story 1: brings up so much field trip/supplying "ptsd". 100% agree with Rebecca.

Story 4 has my blood boiling. My first thought was also how common bed wetting is in abuse, especially SA cases, but also several disabilities are linked as well. My second thought was, she should buy him a bed wetting alarm, there are tons of options. But basically the alarm goes off when it gets wet which will wake the person. It helps limit the amount of urine that comes out, and trains the body to hold or wake up. The other thing is, if she doesn't want to wash the sheets she should teach him how. But most importantly, what is WRONG with this woman?! She clearly is trying to punish bed wetting out of her child. This is clearly not the first time she has added to the load he's carrying dealing with the embarrassment, the anxiety of kids finding out, the physical discomfort of waking up wet, etc. She's making a medical issue her son has all about the laundry SHE has to do. Thats disgusting. That whole story is gross.

First story is the bad apple. They are responsible for keeping the kids together and safe till they are with their parents. They don’t know that he knows the airport. He shouldn’t have left without letting the adults know and if they wanted him to wait, he needed to wait.

The mother in the 4th story is evil. Her poor son is probably traumatized by other things she's done, which is probably why he wets the bed due to anxiety.

Story 4: Absolutely the Bad Apple. 100%. I can understand her reasoning behind it- her son charged her card extra without permission, and that is wrong. But for OP to publicly humiliate her own son is just cruel. Blaming your kid for something they have no control over is absolutely unacceptable. This poor kid is going to need therapy to get past this. OP came back with an update saying her son lives with his dad now. Thank goodness! Hopefully, things will get better for him.

Story 4- get him dark colored boxers problem solved. Bed wetting isn't the kids fault and there is no reason to blame him for it. Edit- omg it got worse! It is never ok to humiliate your child especially PUBLICLY. It is humiliating to be forced to wear nappies as an older kid literally get a waterproof cover to save the mattress and just put the sheets and undies in the wash. This poor kid

While listening to the 2nd story, I assumed something in the conversation occured that caused the brother to slip. Perhaps they were discussing having kids. If the fiancee expressed his love of kids or desire to have his own, the brother's remark makes total sense: "I cant wait to marry your sister, I've always wanted my own kids." "Wow, you must really love my sister if you're willing to give up the chance to have kids." The brother lacked malice. It was a dumb mistake that we all make. We've all slipped and spilled a secret we weren't supposed to. And honestly, he probably saved the whole family a lot of grief. If the fiancee and sister are breaking up over this, it likely would've caused a messy divorce later on. So yeah, he's a good apple.

Story 4 made me so grossed out. No, I have never wet the bed as far as I am aware of, but I am a woman. And during my period (before birth control) I bled -A LOT-. Every month I had stained underwear and I stained the bedding and the mattress. I slept with towels and had long over night pads but the blood always found somewhere to leak out. The mere idea of either parent shaming me for it, expressing how tiresome and much extra work it was is just.. Horrifying. I saw somewhere in the comments of 'He is 14, teach him how to wash his sheets and underwear himself' which is a GREAT idea. Also, I know there are special wet sheets for beds for those, old or young, that wet the bed. Because it's not uncommon. If he wash his own underwear, let him BUY his own boxers. It's BOXERS, it's underwear, they're not a new PS5 or a car. I am sure he can earn money by some way, unless he has some sort of weekly/monthly allowance of some kind. If he wants to buy boxers for his own self esteem, let him. I am not a mother but goodness gracious it does not take a genius to see what a bad apple that parent was. Please learn from random internet people that you yourself asked, be a better mother for your child. ...Stay safe everyone. And thank you Rebecca.

Story 3: I whole-heartedly believe that sugar coating tragedy to help "deal with grief" is just going to make it worse in the long run. The Grandma wasn't just betraying others, but hurting herself by saying that it was a tragic accident with hospital fault instead of owning up to what really happened. It's not easy, I bet it's heartbreaking for the grandma. But nothing good is going to come out of this. They are definitely a bad apple, but they needed to set her straight before the situation got worse

Story 2: Since the brother was friends with Derek I believe he knows that Derek wanted kids and it was a deal breaker if not. So I think that’s where the comment “It’s great you found someone you love so much that you would abandon having children for them”. I’m saying Crab Apple🦀

As a kid who was also publicly humiliated. I completly feel for the kid in the last story. I was also much much younger than 14. Stuff like that sticks with you for YEARS! That mom is TERRIBLE!!! I wouldn't be suprised if he moves out at 18 and goes no contact.

Prolonged bed wetting in a physically healthy person is usually a sign of either abuse, mental health issues / neurological disorders psychopathy. That story sounds like a start of a true crime origin story, that's straight up severe emotional abuse. This reminds me of the childhood stories of Ed Kemper 😢

That last story infuriated me so much, as someone with a family member who has had that issue for most of there life that mother is a rotten to the core apple!

Story #4: There is absolutely no reason she couldn't have bought him boxers and said that they are for day wearing only. Solves both problems. She could also teach him to do his own laundry (at least the sheets) and have a couple spare sets easily reachable for him to change on his own. Also, putting pressure on him and making the bedwetting a stressor for him is probably not helping him at all either.

was very glad to hear your take on story 3. I hate the narrative of “drug users are bad people” (some of them are, but they don’t go hand in hand). As someone who has struggled with drugs and has known very good people who have died from drugs, that story made me so sad and gave me horrible flashbacks of similar incidents :/

That first story GOT ME SO MAD One of my friends left on a trip and got kidnapped. But lucky for him he people noticed that my friend was screaming and had secerity attack the man

Second story: OP is not the bad apple. Obviously had no idea she hadn’t told him and she was going to marry him without that disclosure. If your honest from the beginning you wouldn’t have to worry about anyone accidentally saying some secret to the fiancée. She shouldn’t have the nerve to marry him, knowing he wants kids and not give any clue that she couldn’t have kids. That’s stuff you discuss before hand.

1: ABSOLUTELY THE BAD APPLE! You could have stressed the teachers so much! they could have thought you were gone or left on the plane! teachers don't get paid enough for your crap!! They don't know you've been through the airport many times! To lose a kid in the middle of the airport would be horrifying!!

I don’t know why in the final story the mother couldn’t have bought boxers for the kid to wear to school and then have him still wear tightie whites at night?

Story 2: He's a savior(Good Apple). Ever think about what would happen if they got married then he found out this HUGE bit of info. Tremendous amounts of money would have been wasted & she'd be divorced instead of single, which would have been another thing she'd want to hide from future partners. Sister is a bad apple. Her hiding this fact, especially after getting engaged, is a huge red flag & only reason it was all issue. I'd bet if she told him, they'd still be together. Like you said, there's other options for children. It sucks horribly what happened to her, however trust in your life partner is paramount. He obviously & rightfully lost all trust in her because of HER actions, or lack there of. People need to be accountable for there own actions, or lack there of. She has no one to blame but herself.

You didn't even need to finish the first story for me to know he was a bad apple! Wow! Edit: AND ALSO THAT LAST STORY! What the heck? Publicly shaming your kid like that is NEVER OK! And the fact that she made him buy diapers and then said he would have to wear them is just insane! BAD APPLE!

i love how you call us "my lovelies"

That poor 14 year old boy! Oh my goodness I am a mother of 2 kids and I couldn’t imagine ever doing that to my son my gosh!!!! My heart breaks for him

Story 4: I’m pretty sure that chronic bed wetting with no physical reason is a often sign of abuse and mental distress. Also if she doesn’t want him staining the boxers, then sure the answer is he wears the boxers during the day and the other underwear at night?

Story 4: There were so many things the mum could have done before it got to the point her son was willing to go behind her back and buy the boxers. Like, she's worried about the stains on his underwear... how about just not wearing underwear to bed? Then to go and humiliate him... others are right about bed wetting being linked to psychological issues and she's just causing more harm

Story 4: Mom set the boy up to fail, she really calculated how much everything was going to cost and then checked her debit card to see how much he charged. She could have just had him work off the charges by idk DOING LAUNDRY, but nope, she had to make him feel as small as possible. That’s not right, he wanted her help and support and she failed him. Also, I don’t have teen boys, but I’m pretty sure “bed wetting” in boys is a sign of puberty, and it’s not something he can control, the boxers might even help. And you can find a whole pack of them for pretty cheap.

For Story #4, I wish there was some way to contact OP or OP's doctors. Some people just are heavy sleepers, some bed wetting is associated with trauma, and some people have undiagnosed conditions like sleep apnea. Seems unrelated enough, but the primary sign my husband had sleep apnea was the bedwetting into his teen years. He had both parents trying their best to train him out of it, but if accidents don't happen outside of sleep, there's not much a parent can do except be open minded, understanding, and non-judgmental ... all of which this OP failed to be. If bedwetting and accidents of that nature only happen at night, what is really preventing the mom from allowing boxers for daytime underwear and tighty whities for bedtime use? I mean, seriously... OP has some misplaced pride in her "strict" parenting. Bad apple 🍎 for sure.

Story 2: As a woman who knew from a very young age that I couldn't have kids, she was totally in the wrong. I told my boyfriends very quickly. It was very hard because I was afraid they might call it off but neither did and I'm married now. 😊 I would go crabapple on the brother though. It sounded like he was trying to be nice.

Story 2: as an ovarian cancer survivor, I let my now husband know very early on that I only have one ovary now and having kids could be harder for me. A lot of people want kids so I wanted to be up front about it.

I really feel for the kid in story #4. If it's not a medical issue then maybe it's stress/anxiety of him possibly getting bullied. If the mom is so tired of doing his laundry then she should teach him how to do it. Seems like she's mad at how much laundry she has to do all the time. I just hope no kids that go to his school were at the store when this mom went on her rant. Kids can be so cruel sometimes.

That last story hit deep for me. When I was UNDER the age of 10 I started having accidents I think after my dad left. My mom was so convinced I was doing it on purpose or out of spite that eventually I went without a bed for years even after I had stopped. I had cold showers and also was forced to wear diapers...too school. I thought it was normal then.

Who else loves Rebecca?? ❤

I had the same issue as the kid in the 4th story when I was younger. My parents constantly tried to convince me that it was my fault, I could control it, and they even tried to bribe me (like the mom in the video) to get me to stop it. It got to the point that I was constantly dehydrated because I was afraid to drink water and have an accident. Hearing about a mom publicly shaming her kid and refusing to get him something as simple the underwear he wants just because he has less control over his bladder than most people makes me want to cry. It's just so sad that so many parents are like this especially because it is a fairly common problem.

Story time: I also went on a school trip except mine was D.C. and NY. We had 39 kids and 11 chaperones. My chaperone was my old 7th grade science teacher so it was nice to see her again before I went to high school. It was nice catching up with her because she was not at my school for my 8th grade year because she wanted to stay at home with her kids. Anyway, I think 100% he is the bad apple. My group had chaperones do a headcount wherever we went. When we got off the plane we immediately did a headcount and headed to the bathroom closest. My chaperone thought me and my friend left to go baggage claim with another chaperone but we were still in the bathroom. (We did not have to go to baggage claim as a whole group, just with our little chaperone group.) Thankfully we had a group text of us 4 kids and her so that she could keep tabs on us. We actually had to load on a bus to do a 2 hour drive back to our school and then our adults would pick us up from there because WorldStrides had our schools go separately, not as one group. We also told the teacher in charge when our parents were there because it’s important for her to know that. Also, it’s so scary trying to navigate getting 42 people out of a Broadway theatre as a group and THEN navigating Time Square (yes, we did have a tour guide, but still.) there were a couple moments when we couldn’t find someone and we panicked. All in all it was fun, but I couldn’t imagine if a kid just wandered off. That would be so hard. The lack of consideration for everyone else is astonishing. Definitely the bad apple. Edit: sorry this story is all over. I’m incredibly tired (even though it’s only 1:40 p.m.)

I finished my weekly AITBA, just in time for the new release. *N I C E*

Let’s get her to 2 mil!!!

The second story: brothers usually joke around and go a little too far, but I think he had good intentions. The sister or fiancé might’ve been a little annoyed or laughed it off if it was known information. The brother went too far, but it wouldn’t have been a serious issue if the sister had told her fiancé. I think he’s a crab apple.

Story 2: children are a topic that needs to be brought up before marriage is considered. I’m also a survivor of ovarian cancer (I was extremely young, 6, but I was able to keep one ovary and my entire uterus so not the same situation at all) I’m very unlikely to have my own children the traditional way due to scar tissue build up. My partner and I are not married, we’ve discussed it though and way before that conversation came up I told him about the fact that I likely cannot have kids and that honestly I don’t really want them. I will say I honestly don’t know if I would have told him that reason why I don’t see kids as part of my future if it wasn’t for my chronic pain resulting from it that he helps me deal with though, but we still would be clear about wanting/not wanting kids. Bad batch of that was just out of the blue, crab apple otherwise since it’s not technically his information to share.

Story 4 : I was a bed wetter until 10 (I’m a female) and nothing worked until I got an alarm system that alerted me when I used the bathroom (it had sensors or something). My parents were very understanding as this was a genetic thing and I always had to get pull ups at the store. To publicly humiliate him at a store is utterly disgusting and vile behavior. I couldn’t control it and my parents understood that. My heart goes out to the boy.

I love this series sm

The title already got me suspicious!

Story #3: YES FINALLY THANK YOU. People lying about the dead, putting them on a fake pedestal just because* they are dead ugh one of my biggest per peeves. Why?!

I totally agree with you on that last one. The mom didn’t have the right to publicly shame the kid!

I can relate to the first story because I just came back from Washington DC trip with my school district though I didn't do what the person did the story I stayed with the group because I've never been to an airport till that time. The first story Bad Apple even though she knew what she was doing it's working School the teachers are responsible for you until you are allowed to leave because if I lose you they can get written up then the company that sponsor that can get written up and it becomes a very big issue

Story #2: I don’t feel like the fact the female in this engagement didn’t tell and discuss with her partner the situation with her/them having kids is getting enough attention. Surely partners should have these conversations, especially before getting engaged! SHE DIDN’T LET HER PARTNER KNOW SHE WAS INFERTILE!!! What was she expecting further in the future? Definitely saved money on the wedding and asking for a divorce later on. I myself am infertile due to medical conditions and when me and my now husband where in the early stages of dating I told him. Not the 1st date, but on, like, the 3rd? Now I’m not saying everyone has to reveal anything that early, especially so personal, but by the point you’re engaged, you should definitely be there. Back to OP- We don’t know the context of the conversation in which the bomb was dropped, so it could have been a little weird, sure. But he DEFINITELY IS NOT the Bad Apple. *** He saved his sister from a horrible marriage and a divorce *** He is a good guy and deserves at least Crab Apple, my vote is GOOD Apple.

Story 3: im sorry the dad said what oh my fricking god toxic family that you

Oh man, the last story brought up some serious feelings. I wet the bed until I was 14. My parents never shamed me for it, but it was still incredibly embarrassing. You're right on, it's completely involuntary. I would have been so traumatized if my parents had been as awful as the one in the story. He could have just worn boxers during the day, problem solved.

I got all bad apples too! Wow, the bad apples were not shy to send in their stories! I wish I could see they’re faces when they see this video is they totally thought they were right.

as for story #4, I was potty trained when I was 2 and relapsed into bedwetting when I was 3-4 for almost a solid year. My parents never actually cared about doing anything about it besides yelling at me and getting angry whenever it happened. It's a thing that plagues some people and the approach should be with love and patience, not shame, let alone public shame!!!! Bad apple!!!

Story 4: mom is the reason the kid still wets the bed. Psychological trauma

For story 1, I thought that, despite the kid being an obvious bad apple, demonstrated maturity for being able to question his actions. It’s a trait rare even in adults

For the dead person story. The grandma was lying, the grandma was like "he died of a heart attack and the hospital was incompetent" thats not what happened, they nay not be a bad person but the grandma didn't need to lie like that. I just dont understand why the grandmother would lie. STILL THE BAD APPLE THO NOT SOMETHING YOU GOTTA SAY

I disagree with the third one. I would say OP is a crabapple. Grandma shouldn’t have been lying about the way Mel passed but OP should have used some tact about correcting her. As someone who almost lost a family member to substances multiple times, the grandma was an enabler. You said it yourself. Addiction is a disease. Since Mel suffered from a disease people should be honest about it. Mel’s death should be used as a tool to help others who suffer from addiction seek help before they expire from it.

The last one was such a bad apple I felt such heartbreak listening to her story I felt teary eyed. Wow she had no idea how bad her behavior was..😢

you tell your partner way before engagement that you cant have kids or anything major like that. Thats just how it is.idk if he broke it off bc she didn't tell him or bc he really wanted kids, either way its kinda her own fault that he broke it off STILL THE BAD APPLE THO WHO SAYS THAT

I don't agree with your opinion on story #3. There are people who, no matter what their golden child does, will make excuses and refuse to hear or accept any negative thoughts/comments about them. I know someone who stole from their employer for years & were eventually arrested & spent time in jail for grand theft. One of their siblings sent money & took things to them while they were in jail almost weekly, including taking their mom to go visit. But after this person got out absolutely no one in this family was allowed to mention that my friend had been in jail or they had stolen from their job because their mom would go nuts & start yelling at everyone to "shut up" & "can't we have just one nice meal around here!" Needless to say I didn't accept many more invites over to their house & I don't associate with that friend anymore. The attitude that they didn't do anything wrong & it wasn't their fault really rubbed off (or maybe it was always there?) and I don't think that kind of victim mentality will get you very far in life. I think it's also important to note that this person was the youngest in the family & they always were treated differently, allowed to get away with more and such. In the story I think a lot of these same issues apply to Mel.

omg thank you for what you said on story number 3 I had a family member who had a addiction and they were one of my favorite people and I always hear people how bad people with addiction are, but in reality it's a sickness so thank you so much!!! I love your videos.

Story two: bad batch. He shouldn’t have made a comment like that, it crossed a line. But he certainly isn’t responsible for the blowout afterwards! Sister should’ve communciated. That’s something you need to discuss before getting married. Also, it’s a personal choice, but everyone involved (sister, OP, ex fiancé) all need to understand that you can have kids even if you don’t birth biological kids.

Tuesdays are my favorite day because its 🍎 day!!!!! Thanks for always making my Tuesday that much better Rebecca!!! #1- Bad🍎- immediately when I heard this story my mind went right to your field trip from hell video!!! Totally agree!! #2- 🦀 🍎- I don’t think this kid maliciously gave that info away, however not your place, weird thing to say, and the sister not sharing that info… 🤦🏻‍♀️ smh… marriage wouldn’t have lasted anyway in my opinion #3- Bad🍎- just bad form, like you said you’re at a funeral, just don’t go!! And if you do, keep your opinions of someone who is now gone, to yourself… #4- Bad🍎- this mom… GROSS GROSS GROSS!!! Totally agreed with the mom till the part of the story where she made him go purchase diapers for himself. So gross! In the moment, bad mom!!!!

For the bed wetting story i feel like she could have made a compromise. You can have the boxers but you wear the tighty wighty type underwear to bed. You cant blame him for it, its not his fault. And you could have made a compromise. BAD APPLE

I was wondering if you could add another line of gray apples and do a before you read the story- like reading the title- and then do an after? Thanks love ya!❤️❤️✨

Mrs I rogers every time you upload it makes my day I’ve been watching you since your first bad apple video and yo make me so happy when you make another by the way an team sad apple congratulations on almost 2m

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!❤️❤️

thank you so so much for your content mrs rogers. you’re such an amazing human!!!! keep it up!!!! are you still cursed lol???

23:06 I find it quite ironic that Rebecca got all bad apples whilst she was wear a red top 😅

she slayys too hard, we appreciate all the work she puts in.❤

My gosh I'm glad I didn't have a parent like the boxer parent. I'm a girl, and I wet my bed for several years. I believe from like 4ish to 8 or 9 one day I just stopped. Parents that treat their children badly for something they cannot control need to be humiliated in the same way.

Love your videos!!! This was such a good episode just like all the other ones. I could literally watch this all day. MAKE THIS A SHOW!! Its a masterpiece. Also was it just me who noticed, “Ms. Rodgers… your getting buff 💪. I love it, keep up the great work❤❤

#4 Bothers me because unexplained chronic bedwetting can be a sign of sexual abuse, although he might be old for this to be the reason. It can also be stress related and the mother's behavior is adding more stress. My idea for the boxers is to make him wash them himself. He's 14 and can hand wash them. There are ways that he can wash them to remove the urine (I know this because of my elderly mother). I agree with all of your bad apples. I think #2 can be a bad apple and his sister be a horribly bad apple herself (I feel for her in not being able to bear a child but this is something her life partner should know).

Can we start calling them bad baskets

Third story hit home for me.. My step dad came into our lives when I was 9yrs old. I’m now 28 and he passed about 8 months ago of a fentanyl and meth overdose. Mom tells everyone he died of a heart attack. I let her do what she does but he really wasn’t a good man. I watched him beat my mom and his kids (actually punched one of the girls in the head at least 4 times). I was the only one he wouldn’t hit and he never let my mom touch me either, which in itself is confusing. Not only physical damage, but also emotional which is where he got me. Started off drinking, then Vicodin and just stepped up from there. I know in the end he was struggling a lot and the addiction I don’t blame him for… but it’s SO hard to listen to everyone talk about him like he was a saint. I loved him.. I considered him my father.. but he hurt me and the people I love

HAHAHA! Rebecca’s gonna give a bad apple right off the bat. I gotta go crab apple with Story #1 because two of my friends and I did something similar on a school trip to New York City in 2002. The group was headed to Grand Central Station, and we didn’t really care. We knew where and when the bus was leaving. So we went to the Mets store nearby, got some items, and met up with them at the bus. To this day, I don’t think the teachers ever knew that we left the group.

Nocturia (bed wetting) can often be a symptom of an underlying medical problem at that age. If it's legitimately nocturia, and not just him refusing to get out of bed at night and knowingly wetting the bed, then she's even worse of a parent than this story already makes her. She shouldn't be publicly shaming her teenage son, she should be taking him to the damn doctor to make sure there's nothing wrong neurologically or with his urinary tract system.

Story #3 is me all over my teenage years... I was raised as "the perfect kid" and usually got this punch in my belly feeling everytime my siblings or cousins made bad decisions and got prized out of it. For example my sister getting pregnant at 18 and dropping out of school because of that, then my mother and grandmother giving her all the liberty and taking care of my nice, just so my sister went out again to making bad choices again and having 2 other kids... It shames me now, but I felt so superior, and I used to get so jealous of their unconditional love for someone I just could label as "bad kid" 🤦🏻‍♀️ It took me a lot of time, and a horrible conversation with a cousin who labeled me as "self-sufficient" just for having my life figured out, to understand, that my sister wasn't bad, and I wasn't perfect. We were 2 damaged kids... She needed the support and I was just a 10 year girl who didn't know I was playing the "perfect role" just to feel that she existed, just for some crumbles of love... We were both suffering and acting our own ways so we got the love we deserved... So, for me the kid is a crab apple, he doesn't understand that what his been teached from his father is wrong. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it would be cool to have an extra video to tally up your good, bad, crab and undecided apples. Your videos are always extremely entertaining and make my week better

That last mom really disgusts me! I had a family member who wet the bed and he swore he couldn't control it but his parents were so insistent on him "being too lazy to wake up and go to the bathroom" and severely punished him for it, basically no privileges until he stopped.

Fun fact: late bed wetting can be a sign of psychological trauma as well. Not stating anything concrete, but if a parent is willing to publicly shame their child, what are they willing to do in private? Her language choice is also blaming her son for the bed wetting, and she frames it as if there is something wrong with him, which, Doctors and medical staff often avoid framing that way (or are trained to) I am wondering what else is going on at home

ik you dont have and don’t want kids, but i just wanted to say that i think you would be a great mom. you are so kind, yet your kids would know right from wrong from the way you would treat them and showcase just being a good human. people can be kind but also be stern and i think you found the perfect balance!

Apple #4: Mom went to her dad who was strict and that's where she learned it from... I'm concerned about the family trauma that has passed down from generation to generation because the parents didn't unlearn how not to be a parent...kind of weird how she thought she might have been a bad apple for making her son take responsibility for stealing thinking that everything else in the story would condemn her...

You are amazing

Story 3. So I know that I'm approaching this from a different place than most people and this situation is still very raw for me. My brother died of an overdose at the end of August. I'm now raising his young teen son. I have to be so so careful about what I say about my brother to my nephew, because I don't want to demonize his father to him, but I am furious at my brother for his actions and I refuse to paint him as a saint or even a good person to anyone. I tell my nephew that his father loved him, but I don't try to make excuses for the bad things he did because he was an addict and by the end all he cared about was the drugs. Drug addition is an illness, but it doesn't mean that you aren't a terrible person. If you do bad, irresponsible, reprehensible things because of the drugs, you are still a bad person. It does no one any good at all to pretend you were a good person just because you died. I don't blame OP for calling out the truth about their cousin. Maybe I'll have different opinions in six months or a year from now, when I'm not still struggling to clean up the mess my brother left behind and I have time to deal with the anger and resentment. But until then, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the "drug addiction is an illness and it's not his fault, he was just troubled" narrative.

Great. Time to goof off and watch bad apple instead of working

"Yes, this is the psychopath I want to marry." 😂😂😂

I have epilepsy and was diagnosed at 14.i would wet the bed a lot and after I was on the medicine for my seizures the bed wetting stopped. It was embarrassing to say why I couldn't sleep over someone's house. I feel for the kid. The mom isn't just a bad apple but a rotten apple

Fitting that Rebecca wore a red shirt for the full bad batch 😂

The bed wetting could be caused by stress in story number 4. And with a parent like that I can't blame him

1. Bad Apple they could've got kidnapped 2. Good apple while he shouldn't have said anything like that and that's so rude and disrespectful and if the question was "Was I the bad apple for making a lousy comment then the answer would be hell yes but the question was am I the bad apple for breaking up their engagement so no he's not the bad apple for making them break up (maybe crab apple) 3. Bad apple there was no reason for him to say anything the grandma is in pain and probably didn't want anyone to know that mel died in a wrong way. 4. Bad apple he can't help peeing and he was already embarrassed so as a fix you embarrassed him even more while he shouldn't have stolen them but embarrassing him isn't the answer

We need am I the bad apple merch!!
